Train Car Securement

Welding Oversized Loads for Ship and Rail Transportation  

When it comes to transporting oversized and heavy equipment, traditional methods of securing cargo often fall short. Particularly when the load cannot fit inside standard transport vehicles. Unified Engineering provides a specialized solution for safely and efficiently transporting such cargo, offering welding and engineering services designed to securely attach oversized loads to ships and train cars. This approach eliminates the need for traditional bindings, ensuring a cost-effective, one-time shipment solution that guarantees the safety and integrity of the cargo throughout its journey.

Transporting oversized loads, especially those that cannot fit inside traditional train cars or ships, presents significant challenges. Traditional methods of securing cargo using external bindings can be inadequate for heavy or uniquely shaped items, making the transportation process more costly and complex. The need for a cost-effective, secure, and efficient solution for moving these large, high-value items over long distances is essential.

The Solution:

Unified Engineering provides a tailored approach by welding cargo directly to the transportation method, whether it be a ship or a train car. This custom solution involves onsite weld preparation and the attachment of specialized components, offering a secure and reliable way to move oversized loads. The design is engineered on a case-by-case basis, adhering to guidelines set by the Association of American Railroads to ensure safety and efficiency.

The Benefit:

This welding-based method simplifies material handling and eliminates the need for traditional, cumbersome bindings. It offers a scalable, one-time shipment solution that reduces costs while enhancing the security of high-value cargo. Additionally, the welding ensures that the load stays securely in place throughout transport, offering peace of mind during long-distance travel. However, once the cargo reaches its destination, the weldments are removed, making this a single-use, cost-effective option for specialized transport needs.
